    Hi every one. I'm Armin, 26 years old and new to NoFap Community.
    I have problems with Sex since I was 14. Not with Porn at first couple of years but fantasying about women I knew. Then Porn Images, Then Porn Videos. As long as i remember I wanted to quit. I tried many ways but they didn't work. Including participating in SA (for 1-2 months)

    Recently (About a year and half) I used to masturbate almost everyday with porn. That was horrible. I could tell I didn't live that 1.5 year as I was dragging myself on the floor. I missed a lot of chances. I got depression and etc.

    Now I wanna make a radical change and quit porn and Masturbation for ever. But I don't know how to start? Should I do it step by step (like first Porn, then Fapping , etc) or do it all at once? Which forums should I visit first?
    Could you please guide me?

  2. Best way is full no PMO. Get rid of porn and masturbation. Orgasms should be through healthy sex.
    Get out in the world. Ditch or turn off your phone and make some kind of connection to life.
    As for forums the success stories are good. I actually like hitting the panic button to get thoughtful posts and picture quotes.

    Good luck to you

    You should stop with everything at the same time, porn and fap
    I also recommend the SPAM REMOVED (spam code #001) - REPORT TO MODERATION and method SPAM REMOVED (spam code #001) - REPORT TO MODERATION

    Hi,

    Here is my new plan to quit. It’s a 2-sided plan.

    1- Amplify the problem.

    I spend sometimes everyday remembering what it feels after a relapse. Depression, disgust, shame, missed opportunities. Believe me, the more you think about it, the more serious the problem.

    I do it to create an urgency to change. Literally, the stone in my shoe is growing everyday, I need to take it out.

    I am doing it to associate PM with pain too. As I tend to avoid pain, I would tend to avoid PM.

    2- Imagine your best life

    Classic self help. I imagine the life I would live having enough money, satisfying relationship, …

    I do this to have a purpose.

    I do this also to substitute positive behaviors (learning, playing music,…) to PM.

    At the end of the day, I would avoid PM, as I avoid walking on broken glass barefoot. I would also have healthy habits in connection with my future state.

    Feel free to share your feedback on the above. :)

    Hey man, first of all welcome!

    My recommendation would be to stop both porn and masturbation together. Both of those behaviours are compulsive for you right now, and you'll make much better progress by getting rid of both.

    I created a guide on my blog that helps people get through the first 30 days of NoFap, you can find it on this page here. It also includes urge prevention techniques as well.

    Let me know if you find it useful!
